I built Statistics for Strava, a self-hosted, open-source dashboard that gives you fun and detailed stats from your Strava activities. You can track any workout over time, visualize trends, and get new insights. All while keeping your data private on your own server.

And the best part: you don't need a Strava premium account

Key Features

  • Dashboard – See all your stats and charts at a glance
  • Activities - Browse a detailed list of everything you've done
  • Monthly View - Monthly stats with an interactive calendar
  • Gear stats - Track how much you've used each bike, shoe, etc.
  • Custom gear - Add custom gear setups (instructions)
  • Maintenance Tracking - Keep tabs on gear wear and tear (instructions)
  • Eddington - For your distance milestones
  • Segments & Efforts - Dive into your segment history and times
  • Heatmap - Visualize where you’ve been active the most
  • Strava Rewind - A fun way to look back on your year in motion
  • Challenges - See which Strava challenges you've conquered
  • Activity Photos - Relive your moments with a photo archive
  • AI workout assistant - Get personalized workout suggestions and insights powered by AI
  • User badges - Shareable badges you can embed on your website, blog, or forum profiles
  • PWA support - Use it like a native app on your phone

I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

This Looks awesome … but as far as i understand i still Need a Strava Account and Upload my data to Strava? Would be so cool if I could just upload my workout files

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Yes indeed you do, hence the name ;)

This is cool but I dropped Strava a while ago due to their constant enshittification. As another poster said I would be super interested in something similar that allows importing data from different sources as I have just also dropped garmin for the same reasons and moved to gadgetbridge but will probably miss some of the more granular comparison abilities garmin offered.

Good luck either way with this!

[–] starshipwinepineapple@programming.dev 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I also dropped strava a while ago. For me it was because they updated their privacy policy to blanket allow ai training with your data to both strava and any partners. They claimed it was only for XYZ but the privacy policy allowed it for any use which i consider dangerous for health and geospatial related data without specific, informed consent.

But for alternatives, when i was into cycling/triathlons i used golden cheetah extensively. It's UI takes some getting used but ime it was more powerful than anything else once you got used to it. I used it as a strava premium/trainingpeaks premium alternative and had multiple athletes (me+coaching) in there.

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

Sweet, thank for the recommendation. I will check that out when I get a chance. I think I dropped Strava before you as I don't remember that, I was just pissed off with the constant erosion of key features put behind paywalls since I had been using them since 2010 or something like that so it just became too much that things I had used for years were now gone!

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

robably miss some of the more granular comparis

Thanks for your honest feedback! If I were ever to change the data-source, I would rely on users uploading TCX files. But for now only Strava is supported, hence the name ;).

I feel like the existing self-hosted alternatives to Strava are really mature already. So I'm not sure if adding another one would be smart? Might be wrong though

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

I'll be honest I haven't looked super into alternatives as of yet as I have only recently got around to dropping Garmin which was fine for me for a long time so maybe there is something out there already that fits my needs anyway :)

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

What do you feel they have been enshittifying?

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Who, Garmin? The fact that they added a paid subscription model "Garmin Connect +" for "premium features" that is the first step in the enshittification play book and how Strava started before they slowly erodes features away and put them behind a pay wall of a "subscription service". I spent a lot of money on watches over my 15 plus years of using Garmin products and do not appreciate them adding paid subscription bullshit.

Add on to that the fact they are an American company with no offline options I'd rather not be sending a lot of sensitive health and location settings to American servers constantly every single day. So those two factors should be reason enough for everyone to start rejecting them IMO.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I meant Strava, I don't have a Garmin. I use Strava (I pay for premium) and I like it and they keep adding features (I mostly ignore their AI)

After 3 free apps that I used to track my runs went under or really enshittified I decided it was worth it to pay for something I liked

I don't know how long you have used Strava for but for how long I used it a lot of those features you now pay for used to be standard features that came with the app. You didn't need to pay to get access to all those things and when you have been using features for literally a decade and then suddenly they are held to ransom it kind of pisses you off and makes you not want to use that shit any longer.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 11 points 21 hours ago

I switched from Strava to OpenTracks, which does all of the recording but none of the social parts, and keeps the data all on device as far as I know. This looks cool! But for me I probably wouldn't have enough use of it to set it up, so I'm not going to ask you to support OpenTracks just for me, but I mention this in case it's exciting for you. If other people use OpenTracks and would benefit from this, they can mention that too I guess!

But it looks great!

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is amazing!

I ditched Strava for WorkOutDoors and it allows exporting data into various formats. Will you support a non-Strava api import of workout data at some stage in the future?

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

i import of workout data at some stag

For now, I won't support this. If Strava decides to change their API policy in the future, I will reconsider this though.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'd start considering it now as a background task. If the API policy changes you won't have to rush it.

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Not a bad suggestion indeed. I'd not support specific APIs but importing TCX files. This is platform agnostic

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Literally no reason this should need a server.

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure what you are referring to?

[–] statisticsforstrava@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I don't understand I'm sorry.

[–] scrubby@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

This is very cool and I will have to check it out!

[–] ge0rg3e@thelemmy.club 3 points 23 hours ago

Really cool
